Just to add some reality to this. You do know that Baruch Spinoza had a thorough classical Jewish education. Some of my teachers even think if he had lived...
Spinoza was a Buddhist, a Talmudist, a Cabbalist why not a Sufi (if he had lived in Baghdad in 1000 "AD"), a shaman 1000 BC, some kind of healer or self- ...
Intersting things.... I must check them..... By the way, Yesterday I was reading the `Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus'....... and he also sounds very...
Hi Ethel and All, To view the world through "Jewish", "Christian", "Moslem", "Sufi", "Hindu", "Buddhist", "Taoists", etc. spectacles is, in terms that Spinoza ...
I disagree with you Terry. I agree with Israel that Spinoza is a great Jewish philosopher, ahead of his time. I don't know how you can say that his Jewish ed...
Hi Ethel and All, I'm afraid that I can't quite follow much of what you have written. For instance, after telling me that you disagree with my previous post ...
Hi Terry, 1. Well, as you suggested I paid attention to the last sentence of your quote from TPT07-P48. I regard the whole citation as a highly problematic one...
Hi Hans and All, Thank you for your response to my post. It seems to me that the points you bring up illustrate some of the problems involved in examining...
I consider this to be criminal. Clearly TPT is explained by Spinoza. It is not how he thinks. What he is doing is saying this is the way it is if you think...
http://all-that-gifts.com/xcart/catalog/product_18308_Baruch_Benedictus_Spinoza__2002.html I have the article that accompanied the stamp. The herem nolonger...
Hi Ethel, Interesting how the rabbis got round the question. All right, let's count Spinoza among the great Jews, My personal other favourits are Marx,...
Hi Terry, You have to know the man behind the text. That's why people write: to find themselves, to see themselves in their own writing. And if they can't see...
Hi Gary, I'm not sure what you are trying to say here as you offer no support for your opinions as far as I can tell. It seems like maybe you're trying to be ...
Hi Terry, I've tried to read Euclid and can't understand him at all, so maybe you see what you want to see. Look at Spinozistic Marxism. Name me one Marxist...
Hi Gary, ... I'm not surprised, if you believe, as you stated in your previous post, that...: "You have to know the man behind the text" ...since there is so...
Hi Terry, Thank you for your reply. Yes, your are absolutely right with the passages from the Elwes text. My fault because of my hastyness. Thank you, Terry,...
Hi Terry, The "turning around" that Spinoza did was inside the domestic culture in which he lived. That's easy. I could do that to. And all I would get is what...
Hi Hans, Thank you for bringing up the topic. It prompted me to look more closely at chapter 7 of the TPT and to consider a few other issues along the way. ......
Gary, Terry, (Sorry, Terry) some kaffeeklatsch outlining just a few thoughts without reference to Spinoza’s text Doesn’t the TPT deliver enough evidence...
Of interest to Dutch subscribers: Henri Krop (celebrated translator of Spinoza's Ethica) is giving a lecture at 8 pm on June 13 on the subject of 'Nederland en...
Hi Hans and All, ... I think this is plain enough. Spinoza wrote about the Bible and the Jewish culture which he had been brought up on and which was part of...
A slow reading of Plato's Timaeus is just now getting started on my plato-timaeus list. If you would like to join it, you may subscribe by sending email to ...
Hi Hans and All, Lance Fletcher has four Spinoza related Yahoo Groups including this one. It may be that some people are unaware of this fact. You can view the...
Hi Hans, I feel that this discussion is leading nowhere useful to either of us but then I am only stating this as my feeling, not as Absolute Truth, and you...
First I want to thank y'all for the whole subject matter of these two Spinoza books. Spinoza is my entire mind. Unless people know Spinoza they can't...
Hi Hans, Pure passive-aggression. Referring to me in the Third-Person. How did that play in the imaginary feel? The state of your body must have really enjoyed...
Hi Gary, Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you, I apologize if there was something in my posting that was impolite. My question, Gary, is simply, if there is...
